TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Pointe-Alexandre.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Pointe-Alexandre is a locality in Gloucester, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Pointe-Alexandre is located at 47.8056°N, 64.6688°W.
Pointe-Alexandre perches quietly upon the rugged Atlantic coastline, where the land yields to the persistent salt-heavy breath of the sea. It lies 2.0 km north-west of Île-de-Lamèque, NB (from Île-de-Lamèque, NB: bearing 308°T), and is situated 8.8 km north-north-east of Shippagan. The air here holds a distinct, bracing clarity, sharpened by the proximity of the water and the low, scoured horizon. Inland, the terrain reaches toward the distant Grand Lac, which rests seven kilometers away, and the Campbells River, which winds its path through the terrain ten kilometers from the shore. The light at dusk possesses a singular, thin quality, turning the coastal grasses into shades of muted copper before the deep blue of the Atlantic swallows the day. Beyond the immediate shoreline, the landscape remains spare and observant, marked by the vast, open expanse that separates Pointe-Alexandre from the distant Parc provincial Miscou. Life in Pointe-Alexandre draws its vitality from the cold, deep tides that have shaped the aspirations of its residents for generations. The local economy persists in the quiet, demanding work of the fishery, a trade that requires a profound familiarity with the shifting moods of the ocean. Families here maintain a steady, private heritage, often passing down the practical knowledge of the tides and the seasonal migration of the catch. Even as the modern world intrudes, the daily habits of Pointe-Alexandre are dictated by the rhythm of the rising and falling waters, grounding the inhabitants in a cycle that feels both ancient and immediate.
Pointe-Alexandre s'étire le long de la côte atlantique, là où le souffle salin de l’océan sculpte le caractère du paysage acadien. À mesure que le jour décline, une lumière ambrée baigne les rivages, révélant la patience des hommes qui, depuis des générations, tournent leur regard vers les eaux pour en extraire leur subsistance. Non loin, la rivière Campbells serpente avec une discrétion minérale vers les terres, tandis que les eaux immobiles du Grand Lac conservent le silence des forêts environnantes. Vers le nord, l’horizon s'ouvre sur l’étendue sauvage du Parc provincial Miscou, dont la présence rappelle la fragilité et la beauté brute de cette pointe avancée dans l'Atlantique. L’existence à Pointe-Alexandre se mesure au rythme des marées et aux changements subtils de l'air, une vie façonnée par l'effort quotidien et la permanence de l'élément maritime. Ici, les maisons semblent s'agripper au sol avec une humilité familière, tournées vers le large comme pour guetter le retour des barques. Chaque geste des habitants honore une mémoire transmise par le vent, une manière d'être qui demeure fidèle à la rudesse et à la clarté du littoral, loin des agitations du monde moderne.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data for Pointe-Alexandre is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
